My 15-week half marathon training plan

The one we'll use to train for the Eugene Half Marathon, which runs this April

👉 This isn’t a typical issue of our newsletter, but I wanted to share with you the full version of the training plan we’ll use to train for Oregon’s Eugene Half Marathon this spring, in case you’d like to download a copy and adapt it for your schedule.

You’ve likely seen a version of this plan before; it’s based on the 16-week training schedule I sent out last year, and includes a week-by-week breakdown of the miles you need to run, the long run each week (in bold), all leading up to the taper a couple of weeks or so before our race day.

There’s also a downloadable PDF version at the end of the schedule, so you can print it out if you like.

Our training starts this week — enjoy and feel free to reach out with any questions!
